After successfully stopping Faceless Men's suicide, Redd turned to Jason who was standing aside and said, "The next step is up to you. You must ask him everything I want to know."

Jason hurriedly patted his chest and responded confidently, "Don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me. I promise to make him tell everything he knows!"

Jason waved his hand expressionlessly, and his men immediately rushed towards Faceless Men like hungry wolves, quickly blocked his mouth with a piece of rag, and then dragged him directly into the dungeon like a dead dog.

The dungeon was dark and damp, filled with a putrid smell, and the various instruments of torture were dazzling, making people shudder.

Jason followed slowly, with a cruel smile on his lips, as if he couldn't wait to start this "feast".

Faceless Men was hung in mid-air, his body shaking constantly, his eyes full of fear and despair.

Jason took action personally, picked up a heavy whip, and beat Faceless Men's body mercilessly.

Each whip brought a trace of blood, and the screams of Faceless Men echoed in the dungeon, making people's hair stand on end.

In just half a day, Faceless Men was tortured to the point of being reduced to a human shape. His body was covered with hideous wounds, and there were insects gnawing inside. Blood continuously seeped out from the wounds, dyeing the ground under his feet red.

In the end, Faceless Men's spirit completely collapsed. He could no longer bear the pain and confessed everything honestly.

It turns out that this assassination mission originated from Braavos's Aquaman.

Redd listened to Faceless Men's confession, his face became more and more gloomy.

He walked up to Faceless Men, looked at him coldly, and confirmed again. "Are you sure you didn't lie?"

Faceless Men had completely lost the courage to resist at this time. His body hung there limply, as if he might die at any time.

He used his last bit of strength and nodded with difficulty, just hoping that this terrible torture could end as soon as possible.

Redd nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Douglas on the side:

"Write a letter of inquiry to Neptune and tell him that I will give him a satisfactory answer within a week, otherwise I will use Dragonfire to burn the entire Braavos to ashes."

Douglas quickly responded, "Yes, sir, I'll do it right away." He bent down and saluted, and then hurriedly left the dungeon.

Redd looked at Douglas's leaving figure, then turned to Jason and said:

"Drag him to the dock and hang him up with his companions, so that everyone can see what will happen to anyone who dares to attack me."

Jason quickly took out the noose from his waist and put it around Faceless Men's expressionless neck without hesitation.

Then, he pulled hard and dragged Faceless Men out of the dungeon like a dead dog.

Faceless Men's body rubbed against the rough ground, making a creepy sound, and at the same time, a long trail of blood spread on the ground.

Redd stood aside, witnessing this scene, and a glimmer of hope surged in his heart.

He prayed secretly, hoping that the Sea King of Braavos was not a weak guy who could be bullied - after all, if the opponent was really so vulnerable, then he himself might be too embarrassed to capture Braavos.

At the same time, Douglas used the fast messenger of raven to deliver the threatening letter of questioning to Sealord of Braavos as quickly as possible.

After reading the letter, Neptune was furious.

As the richest Braavos leader among the nine Free Citiess, he has never received such a rude and threatening letter in his life.

Even when facing Dragon King who owns a giant dragon, he never thinks that the other party has the right to be so presumptuous.

However, Neptune is not a reckless and impulsive person.

After he calmed down, he immediately sent someone to get detailed information about Redd.

After carefully studying the information, he decided to convene an emergency meeting with doctors and civic leaders to discuss how to respond to this provocative letter.

These Braavos powerful people have long been accustomed to using money to solve all problems.

They all believed that this matter could be easily settled as long as they paid some price.

After careful consideration and weighing the pros and cons, Neptune finally decided to send an envoy carrying a generous sum of money to negotiate with the other party, hoping to calm the turmoil.

However, while making this decision, he couldn't help but feel a sense of regret in his heart.

Looking back, when I knew very little about the church assassin group Faceless Men, I rashly agreed to help contact them to assassinate the resurgent Dragon King. It was really too hasty.

But now that things have developed to this point, not only did they not achieve the expected results, but they also left a handle for themselves, which made Neptune a little dissatisfied with Faceless Men's ability and efficiency.

In fact, the reason why Neptune easily agreed to help contact Faceless Men to carry out the assassination mission without knowing the other party's true identity was largely because he guessed that the client had some relationship with House Targaryen.

After all, he had always been happy to see the fight between the two House Targaryen, and he had even contributed to it intentionally or unintentionally.

However, what he never expected was that this incident would actually involve him, putting him in such a passive situation.

Originally, Neptune thought that as long as he paid some price, he could successfully solve this problem.

But what I didn't expect was that some people had ulterior motives. Corlys tried to draw attention to the "scourge" of Redd to the Free Trade Federation, thereby provoking a war on Essos.

Redd's desire to form a maritime fleet makes Corlys himself very worried, because he will never allow anyone to shake the interests of the Valyrian family in the Narrow Sea.

Especially when he learned that Redd actually reconciled with Dornish and received enough compensation to form a fleet, Corlys's vigilance was instantly raised.

He is well aware of Redd's ambitions and methods. If he succeeds, House Velaryon's position in the Narrow Sea will be seriously threatened.

When Corlys learned that Faceless Men had assassinated Redd, a plan immediately emerged in his mind: let Braavos and Redd face off.

Neptune has thousands of warships and merchant ships under his command, which is undoubtedly an extremely powerful force.

And Driftmark has been secretly expanding its fleet, and its purpose is to surpass the Sea King and become the overlord of the sea.
